David Chipman, the gun control activist who President Biden nominated today to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) claimed last year that members of the Branch Davidian sect shot down two helicopters during a standoff with federal agents in Waco in 1993. That is certainly an odd statement considering it didn’t happen and Chipman served 25 years with the ATF.
Chipman posted the comments as part of a Reddit “Ask Me Anything” event and even posted a photograph on the Reddit thread to confirm his identity. In response to a comment about the Waco siege from a participant that asked whether any crimes have been committed with .50 caliber Barrett rifles, Chipman wrote:
At Waco, cult members used 2 .50 caliber Barretts to shoot down two Texas Air National Guard helicopters. Point, it is true we are fortunate they are not used in crime more often. The victims of drug lords in Mexico are not so lucky. America plays a role in fueling the violence south of the border.
While the Branch Davidians did reportedly shoot at helicopters, none were shot down. He has been listed as a top “conspiracy” candidate on Reddit.
The communists have taken over, unfortunately. I spent 20 years of my life, defending the country, from world communism, only to see the communists win, with hardly a shot fired. Disgusting.

Nut. Case.

Omg! We knew he was just another anti-American Commie type who works against our liberties. But this report indicates he’s insane too. We are in for three more years of deep deep soroznazi Doo Doo. Resist! Protect our families and the futures of our children!
AFT is my favorite convenience store. Just like the ATF is.
Child burner in charge of the BATFE, what could go wrong?
I don’t know what is in his head, but he looks like a mongoloid. His head looks deformed like he may be missing a chromosome or two, or maybe his parents were 1st cousins.
This guy may not be all there and is very bad news for gun owners.
I want to see that too. Rand will twist his sorry A$$ into a pretzel. The chump is a total A hole.
maybe his parents were 1st cousins.
More likely brother and sister.
After Waco, a number of their agents should be sharing cells
with FBI agents from that region, and the BATF should no
longer exist.
What the heck. Is he the love child of Peter Strzck and the fertility bank Paige? They are getting a little nutty.
He has the hairline of a chipmunk.

Hillary ordered it up, and Janet Reno complied.
Someone with dyslexia is doing keywords...it should be atf, batf, etc., not aft and baft, lol.
I thought the leftwing media and the Democrats already 'established' that Texas Air National Guard pilots faced no danger and such jobs were just a rich coward's way to get out of serving in the 'real' military?
Bull shit!
Wasn’t Wesley Clark the general who supplied tanks to Waco?
His press secretary was Mary Jacoby, the wife of Glen Simpson. Simpson was one of the founders of Fusion GPS, the smear firm used against Trump in Russiagate.
The feds trumped up phony drug charges on the Davidians to violate Posse Comitatus for their operation.
